We need to think about why water is important first and foremost I don’t want to teach you to suck eggs but here goes and apologies if I do.

The human body is composed mostly of water and it requires water for all of its functions.

For the body to digest and eliminate, the body requires water.

Every time you drink coffee, soft drinks, fizzy drinks etc you are dehydrating your body. You cannot burn fat without water basically fat requires a molecule of water before it can be dispensed with so if you are not going to drink water you WON’T shed the fat. 

If you get dehydrated the body cannot flush the kidneys, liver or your colon.  That is why people get constipation, IBS etc.  It also allows the body to keep hold of the unhealthy toxins that it takes in that remains too long in the body and if it actually hasn’t got the water to get things moving and get it out the toxins get reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and those chemicals get circulated into every single organ in your body.

Water is essential for digesting and expelling everything you take in.  

At Kick Start we recommend 2-3 litres of water throughout the day. If you are not a fan of water try adding a slice of lemon or lime. We also suggest herbal/fruit teas there are lots of varieties eg peppermint, camomile, fennel and they all have different health benefits. I have a range of teas and always have a camomile tea before bed as this is a relaxing tea and helps you sleep. 

Let me know if you try any teas or increase your water intake.
